I'm looking forward to 2020, when skeuomorphic flatness will be all the rage!

Got a tip for us?

Your issues are not ubiquitous to Safari users. I suggest you delete safari .plist files, or rebuild. Empty caches and turn off extensions. A Safari fresh install works perfectly.
I am a beta user and when trying to install the PB 5 it downloads, restarts, and then tells me 'Can not verify the update' and stops the update. I have re-downloaded and tried again with the same result. The first 4 PBs worked fine.
Any ideas or anyone else having this problem?

It's working for me. More than once I've had to restart my Airport Extreme to be able to make calls from my Mac. The other aspects of HandOff always seemed to work. I'm on latest iOS 9 PB.
If you can't put one finger on one key to zoom, you really have a problem. Seriously, how hard is it? Get over it, we're over the whining already.
Interestingly, making calls from my Mac works absolutely fine. And AirDrop works in both directions. It's just the application handoff bit that's not working.
Never mind -- let's see what the CAT guys come out with between now and 10.11's release.
EDIT:
Just looked through the Console logs and found:
19/08/2015 23:51:46.400 sharingd[284]: 23:51:46.399 : Device Capabilities (Handoff:YES, Instant Hotspot:YES, AirDrop:YES, Legacy AirDrop:YES, Remote Disc:NO)
... so something's working at some level. Also saw this, which made me chuckle:
19/08/2015 23:51:44.646 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.sharingd) This service is defined to be constantly running and is inherently inefficient.
Some people do. Some people don't.
An example are my children, who (to my madness) run everything full screen...
Would love to know this as well. I installed the beta on my home iMac and while i don't work from home very often when I do I need and always run the newest AE...
Why are people still complaining about the green maximize button?
Want a great window organization utility? Download BetterTouchTool and activate window snapping (like in Windows 7). It's fantastic. Also BTT works for reprogramming any mouse/trackpad/tablet to do whatever you want with gestures, so it's very useful.

It was done because the vast majority of OS X expected the maximise button to behave like a full screen as it does in Windows hence it was changed to accommodate new comers to OS X as well as existing users who were fed up with the inconsistent behaviour of maximisation. Personally I think the whole idea of maximising and going full screen doesn't make any sense - technology has advanced to the stage where we can have multiple applications running at once and the ability to drag and drop between windows or to multi-task using the Dock and it amazes me how people want to go back 20 years because of some mythical, "I'm more productive!" when in reality it was simply bad habits picked up then re-enforced by Windows and people around them believing 'this is the way things are done'.
Some people just don't get that. Sometimes, it's better to wait a day or two, despite the temptation.
The full installer now gets you to build 15a263e without any interim updates. I assume the large size of this update is so that it'll update any interim build of the beta too.
Not when you set it to minimize the window to the dock! (System Prefs, Dock, Double-click a window's title bar to minimize.)
You gotta make a choice! Personally, I never use the maximize button or fullscreen.
Loving the update, however it still hasn't resolved an issue for me that I noticed within the recovery partition, starting with the prior PB. I've only been able to see it while on Disk Utility in the Recovery Partition...is anyone else seeing under their OS X volume, multiple mounted "untitled" volumes with eject buttons next to them?
I am going to try to restart in safe mode and install that way to see if it rectifies the problem. Will let you know what happens when I download the update for the third time...
Same routine here... Any suggestions from anyone on what to do? Is there a cache or group of preferences that can be deleted?
It amazes me that some people are so shortsighted and think that everyone has the same workflow
You are right of course that Windows users often have this awful habit of working with maximised for no reason windows, and this hampers productivity. This is why OS X has no maximise feature. Fullscreen is not maximise, fullscreen is for focusing on a single app. There are tons of workflows that benefit from that. For example, when I am writing a paper, I have TextMate fullscreen in one space and Preview fullscreen in another one. This allows me to write comfortably, using the entire screen real estate (it really makes a difference) and if I want to look at the PDF of my paper, I can quickly switch to Preview. I also go fullscreen in Mail when I am doing my emails review (I get on average 100-120 per day), because it allows me to see more.
Thank you. I´ve tried to install the update second time with no success.
